Abstract
Students enter nursing programs through a variety of methods. The traditional entry method still exists; however, non-traditional pre-entry pathways are increasing. Little is known about how these students perform once enrolled. This study compares the academic impact of traditional and non-traditional pre-entry pathways for students in a practical nursing program.
